The business model of the Navigator Company (NVG) is based on sustainable and certified management of forests, reconciling environmental, social and economic concerns.

Investment in low-carbon solutions allowed NVG to achieve an important milestone: In 2016, approximately 70% of NVG’s total primary energy consumption was obtained from renewable sources. The measures we adopted have reduced the company’s energy dependency.

In 2016 the company announced a medium-term Energy Efficiency Corporative Programme, based on seven strategic vectors: Energy Management System (ISO 50001), renewable energy, energy efficiency for lighting, behaviour changes, industrial processes, electric mobility and energy management information systems. NVG’s long-term objective is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and energy consumption in the production of pulp and paper.
